I can remember as a young kid in Sunday School wondering why there was all this fuss about shutting your eyes, so one day I opened mine, and saw that everyone else was standing there with their eyes closed. Pretty boring really, so I shut them again!Later someone else told me that the reason we close our eyes is so we can concentrate, and not get distracted by what's going on around us. That still makes sense to me, and it isn't scary.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982043538182690871noreply@blogger.com
